Summary

Standing at a height of 12 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a spillway type of uncontrolled. The dam poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating.

Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, P E Moore Pond Dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it meets state permitting and inspection requirements. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are undisclosed, but its risk assessment suggests a moderate level of risk.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, P E Moore Pond Dam offers an intriguing case study in private dam ownership and recreational use. With its modest size and low hazard potential, the dam serves as a valuable resource for both local residents and visitors seeking outdoor recreational opportunities in the Noxubee area. Further research and assessment may shed light on the dam's condition and potential future management strategies to ensure its continued safety and functionality.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
